Announcement 🫶
For those that don't know, I have decided to go back into private practice.
This time, I will have more freedom to tailor my practice to better fit my style and serve my clients.
I will be taking new clients asap and start appearing in Court on or around August 11th.
My office will be located in Clintwood with Brad Fleming & Brad Fleming Attorney at Law, PLLC. However, I will be taking clients in both Buchanan and Dickenson Counties (and surrounding counties) and will make accommodations to meet for consultations in Buchanan County and am toying with the idea of virtual consultations 🥰
Please help me spread the word and as always, message me with any questions!

What is a Guardian Ad Litem?

"Guardian ad litem (GAL) means “guardian for the suit.” A guardian ad litem in Virginia is an attorney appointed by a judge to assist the court in determining the circumstances of a matter before the court. It is the responsibility of the guardian ad litem to provide independent recommendations to the court about the client’s best interests, which can be different from advocating for what the client wants, and to bring balance to the decision-making process."

My work as a GAL is easily my most rewarding work as a Virginia licensed attorney. I enjoy making a difference in children's lives and knowing that I look out for their best interests, solely for their best interests. I care deeply about each and every child that I work for.

While you cannot hire a Guardian Ad Litem, you can always hire a custody attorney that fights for your children as hard as you would!
